WOMEN’S ULTRA MEGA® ACTIVEAdequate nutrition is essential for both optimal health and athletic performance. Women’s Ultra Mega® Active features the same great benefits as our Women’s Ultra Mega® Active multivitamin such as bone health support, immune defense and antioxidant protection. It also has added nutrients like fiber, protein and CLA that won’t fit into a pill.Energy and Metabolism

Provides green tea and B-vitamins that are essential for carbohydrate metabolism and energy production.

Features L-carnitine to facilitate the metabolism of long chain fatty acids. L-carnitine transforms fatty acids into energy for muscles.

Electrolyte Replacement

Features key electrolytes including potassium and chloride, which help to regulate body fluids. Intense exercise can result in a loss of these valuable electrolytes and may lead to muscle cramping.

Lean Muscle Fuel

Features 10 g of protein which can help increase the feeling of fullness. Along with exercise, protein is a quality fuel for lean muscle. When building lean muscle, metabolism increases, helping to burn more calories around the clock.

Features a performance blend with green tea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng and branched chain amino acids (BCAA). BCAA help to reduce the amount of protein breakdown during intense exercise.

Digestive Health

Includes 8 g of dietary fiber per serving. Fiber aids in digestive health, eliminates unwanted toxins from the body and increases your feeling of fullness.

Bone, Breast and Colon Health

Provides 500 mg of calcium along with magnesium and vitamin D-3 to enhance its absorption. These nutrients are essential in the development of healthy bones and teeth.

Features 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3. Emerging research suggests that adequate daily vitamin D intake may play a role in supporting breast and colon health.

For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

Dose: Refer to label instructionsConjugated linoleic acid may play a role in reducing body fat. Research has reported that CLA supplementation produces minor gains in muscle size and strength in weight-training men.(more)

Dose: 3.2 to 4.2 grams dailyA double-blind trial found that exercising individuals taking 1,800 mg per day of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) lost more body fat after 12 weeks than did a similar group taking a placebo.1 However, two other studies found that amounts of CLA from 0.7 to 3.0 grams per day did not affect body composition.2, 3 Most double-blind trials have found that larger amounts of CLA, 3.2 to 4.2 grams per day, do reduce body fat;4, 5, 6, 7 however, one double-blind study of experienced strength-training athletes reported no effect of 6 grams per day of CLA on body fat, muscle mass, or strength improvement.8

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a slightly altered form of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. Animal research suggests an effect of CLA supplementation on reducing body fat.1, 2 Controlled human research has reported that 5.6 to 7.2 grams per day of CLA produces only non-significant gains in muscle size and strength in experienced and inexperienced weight-training men.3, 4, 5 A double-blind study of a group of trained men and women reported reduced body fat in the upper arm after 12 weeks of supplementation with 1.8 grams per day of CLA.6 Further research using more accurate techniques for measuring body composition is needed to confirm these findings.

Preliminary animal and test tube research suggests that CLA might reduce the risk of cancers at several sites, including breast, prostate, colorectal, lung, skin, and stomach.1, 2, 3, 4 Whether CLA will have a similar protective effect for people has yet to be demonstrated in human research.

4 stars only because it tastes okay, but not GREAT. I've had worse though. I love that it's low calorie, which is what I requested when I went into GNC. It mixes very well and isn't too gritty, but you know it's there. The energy I get from this is amazing! So much so that someone asked me for some of my energy yesterday. Also the vitamins, electrolytes and supports colon health. Doesn't get much better. Great product and I've already told my friends to pick it up!

Unlike the other users, I purposely bought this only for the vitamins as I am trying to increase my energy level. I have tried other shakes and it was just too much work for my lifestyle. I like this product because I just add water, shake and drink. I use a shaking cup I got at the GNC store. It's only a 100 calories so it works well with a yogurt or banana for breakfast. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I really notice a difference. If I skip a day (which I did once), I was dragging at work and by the second day, exhausted at 7pm. If you have issues with energy due to all the things in your life (jobs, kids, house, etc) I totally recommend this product. I also recommend carrying a bottle of B12 in your purse (got it at GNC) and taking one at 2pm-3pm. It works! The only drawback is the taste - it is not great but you get used to it and its worth it in my opinion.

Taste great with 8oz almond/coconut milk and your choice of fresh or frozen fruit. I like mine with bananas and strawberries. Consistency is a thick milkshake with a good fruit flavor. No grittyness from the powder.

I've only been using this for a few days but i love it as a midday pick me up! I tend to skip lunch more so because I'm busy but adding this in has taken the edge off of feeling hungry and make me feel great. So simple to make and dissolves really easily in water which is great and makes it a fast on the go drink.

Only con is that my urine has become fluorescent from drinking this which is kind of confusing. Since I don't eat anything between breakfast and dinner I really can't think of anything else that would be causing it. A little bizarre but it doesn't really bother me.

I drink a shake (this powder, banana, yogurt, orange juice, ice) once a day and have lost over 25lbs. I tend to be lacking in the vitamin and supplemental fundamentals my body needs and this is just what I needed. I get every illness floating around and since starting to drink this I have had 50% fewer ailments. I tend to get incredible hunger a few weeks out of the month. It gets really bad in the evening. Since I've been taking this (about a year now) my hunger has been nonexistent. When I don't take it for a few days the hunger returns and I don't seem to have the energy I do when I take it. Drinking a shake around noon, then supper at 6 and I'm fine all day.

The staff at my local GNC is always so courteous and helpful. Always have good recommendations for health and fighting the hunger pains.

I mix the women's ultra mega active with anything and everything. My favorite are making smoothies in a blender! i mix strawberries, bananas, oranges, apples, pomegranate, almond milk, avocado, ANYTHING (not all together) I bring it with me to work and sip it between meals so I am not feeling the hunger for bad snacks. I have only been using this product for less than a week and LOVE the way it makes me feel!

I was very excited about this product because I have been drinking the veggie and fruit smoothies purchased from the supermarkets. I figured, I could save money and still get multiple nutrients from this shake by buying this powder.

I was hoping it would taste like a Slim-fast shake, but it does not. I can't get the texture right and it tastes like vanilla/medicine water.

I'll probably use the rest of this powder just because I hate to waste my hard earned money, but I won't be buying it again.

If anybody wants to respond, please let me know other ingredients I can put in the shake to make it bearable such as almond butter or something.

I use this product twice a day...in the morning and evening. I have been trying to find a nutrition product that works for me and I think I finally found one. I was on another nutrition plan which became very expensive with buying the product plus paying for packaging and shipping and handling. not including the extras that they recommend you purchase to go along with the plan for best results of course. It became to much because I was taking at least 4-5 pills three times a day (all natural)plus the replacement meal and protein powder twice a day. With Women's Ultra Active Mega I have everything in it and I don't have to buy anything extra. I have been taking it for a month and so far I am very satisfied price wise and health wise. It last about a month which is also great; the other product I was using only last two weeks and when I made the shake most of it was still stuck to the blender...I would find myself trying to scrape as much as I can out with a spoon. With Women's Ultra Active Mega you get your money's worth...nothing left in the blender to scrape. I love it...I feel great!

This works and I'm a person that takes everything but nothing works. I gained 45lbs in 8months while I was off work, so now I'm trying to lose the weight and this works. I lost 8lbs the second week(only weigh myself every 2week). Also good for on the go, and you can make 2servicings each day. Some you have to drink as soon as you make it.

Initially, I became very nauseous when I took this product for the first 2 days. I returned it within the full money back guarantee period and then did more research on the side effects I was having.

It turned out that I was taking a multivitamin already and therefore consuming too much of the vitamin and minerals in both this supplements and my multivitamin. I ceased taking the multivitamins for 4 days and then begun taking the GNC supplement days later. It's been one week and things are going great. The fiber decreases my cravings and I'm beginning to see some abs (working out 4-5 days/week, eating clean plus GNC Women's Ultra Mega Active) :)

It only tastes bad when I try to mix it with almond milk and cereal. It's tasty in smoothies
